March 17, 2019 Report (Tarpon Video)

After my last trip I really needed to be redeemed and I had two trips today to get it done. My morning trip was with James and Wesley from Ky and they wanted tarpon. I went back to a spot where the tarpon have been thick and friendly and we hooked 3 and landed two during hour four hour trip including a 45 minute fight with James' fish and about an hour on Wesley's fish. The guys did well and I started to feel better already.

Joel, Travis and Carlos joined me for the afternoon trip and they asked "what's biting?". Tarpon! I took them back to the morning spot and Carlos hooked another nice fish and after a 40 minute fight and tag teaming with Travis, we got their first tarpon. Along the way we missed another bite and, caught a mackerel and lost a big jack that ate a plug as they were destroying schools of bait. Capt.

I was supposed to fish with Scott and his son but I had engine problems and had to cancel the trip so I was eager to get out today especially with Rob. He and I always have a blast with today being no exception. I changed it up today and took him to the Everglades where he had never been. I had dreams of snook, reds, tarpon and trout on fly. What we got was extremely milky, dirty water from the last few days of wind and challenging conditions. I had to find clean water so I ran to the gulf and it still took a few miles north to locate cleaner water. Once I did we found some tarpon off the beach and missed a snook and some other fish on fly while catching jacks along the way and having a couple of shots at mudding redfish. Fed up with the tough conditions, we put the boat back on the trailer and launched on the "inside" of the Everglades where we fished pints and had snook follow the fly and catch a few more jacks and snapper. Definitely not an easy day and I was highly disappointed.

Urgh, the weather today was brutal with 25 MPH east winds making things really challenging. Scott and his son Scott jumped aboard with flyrod in hand and we played hide and seek all morning missing a few bites from trout and barracudas. Capt.

Man I've been busy! Today was a day of mixing it up between small fish and big fish. ALex brought his two boys, 13 year old Michael and 10 year old Eli. The boys wanted to catch small fish first and they did just that, and lots of them! They had they fill with nice sized snappers and then it was time to change it up. I took them to a tarpon spot, located the fish and set up. It took some time but eventually Michael hooked up to a 150lb beast that jumped twice towards the boat with the last jump aimed right at us just 20' from the boat. After a long run the fish came off and we were all catching our breaths. Wow, what a way to end a great day!

March 11, 2019 AM & PM Reports

AM Report A few years ago I fished with Brad and his little girl and had a blast. This time she didn't come along and is 13 already! Armed with fly rod in hand we looked for tarpon and found some but they were scattered and tough to get to eat so after some time after tarpon we bonefished and Brad had a solid number of shots at nice sized bonefish in the little time we had left. PM Report My afternoon trip was with Greg who fished with me last month. This time it was a two boat trip and his wife, and sister and brother in laws jumped in my boat. Since we had great conditions I wanted to show them the flats so off we went. First we stopped off at a shallow wreck where they caught a ton of fish and then we hit the flats. The mistake I made was telling them we hook sharks 90% of the time. This ensured that only one small shark showed up but we did hook a big barracuda.

With his son in town, local angler Kevin wanted to get on the water and spend some time with his son Matt so he called me at the last minute and it worked out since I was open. The conditions were tough with a stiff wind that kept things interesting but we got to the first spot and did well with fish caught on every cast. Afterwards we turned our attention to the flats and Matt hooked a few lemon sharks that kept him busy and us making his life just a bit more interesting! Great job Matt! Capt.

I fished with David today and long time client Steve joined us. The goal was tarpon and tarpon only so we hunted until we found some. Well, tarpon being tarpon, they weren't in the mood to eat and the guys decided they wanted to try something else so we ran to a finger channel where they catch some fish to end the day on a high note.
